Moon of snails and slugs

Zergatik irten ziren hainbeste barraskilo eta bare 
ekainaren 23 gauean?
Zergatik irten ziren hainbeste barraskilo eta bare ekainaren 23 gauean?

Last night I went out quiet and hunt snails. After the beautiful day, the sky had cleared completely and everything pointed to the dew being beautiful. In the hope of that humidity, I suspected that our pair, snail and serene, would go for a walk.

I took it, I took it. Twilight was starting to spill in all directions. The heat of the day had visibly dissipated. Most of them came from piles of stones and wood, especially wood. Around my house I have lots of branches, lots of boards and lots of wood, of which they will certainly be kept. I counted the two hundred, stopped counting and set about to die at all. I would have killed more of the same, more than I could have. I was amazing, especially at the time of the second, because it was supposed that in the place where everything had already been washed, many lives were stirred up. It was a feast of snails and calm that did not end, of contempt!

The summer solstice had passed, June 23, 2019. Many plants grow and grow in spring, when the day is extended. In summer, when the days begin to shorten, it is the time when the flowers open and the fruits begin to ripen. A new era begins, thinking of shorter, dark and cold days, it is about anticipating and reproducing, maturing the seed well and leaving it scattered.

To understand this calm and snail movement, I've looked at the situation that day. On June 23, we were on the moon in the fourth crescent, meaning the moon's orbit was rising. Also, the peak of the Moon at 07:00 hours, is the moment furthest from us. Our satellite was up to the constellation of Aquarius until noon the next day. At 19:00 in the afternoon, Venus and Jupiter were in opposition. It was one of those days when plants are said to stimulate the flower. And for us it was the twilight that we lit the fire to say goodbye to spring and welcome to summer.

It strikes me that it's a day of flowers, because were they going to blossom quiet and snails in the dew's bust? Some of them I've been tied together by couples, perhaps the most important breeding night of the year. At least in the section of the cramps of the cats in our house had ended in a splendid massacre.

Organic hops produced in the villages of the Basque Country
The Euskal Lupuloa project originates from a colloquial colloquium in which a friend who seven years ago produced beer told him that it was impossible for beer to be really native because no hops were produced in the Basque Country. “I’m a baserritarra and I’ve always... [+]

Beer hops in the Basque Country: Past or future?

More and more modern materials are being seen in orchards. This horticulturist has changed them in winter to eat sprouts in spring. Regordeta plants are snails and slugs, a tender food. But corrugated plastic tubes, five-liter water bottles... Everything is OK to keep the hungry... [+]
